In the year 3016, the Second Empire of Man spans hundreds of star systems, thanks to the faster-than-light Alderson Drive.
No other intelligent beings have ever been encountered, not until a light sail probe enters a human system carrying a dead
alien. The probe is traced to the Mote, an isolated star in a thick dust cloud, and an expedition is dispatched. In the Mote
the humans find an ancient civilization--at least one million years old--that has always been bottled up in their cloistered
solar system for lack of a star drive. The Moties are welcoming and kind, yet rather evasive about certain aspects of their
society. It seems the Moties have a dark problem, one they've been unable to solve in over a million years
